Temani Lewis, 21, was fatally wounded after being ambushed in her Jeep Cherokee outside the Brooklyn Food Mart in Pittsburgh’s Lincoln-Lemington-Belmar neighborhood. On December 1, 2022, multiple assailants approached the parked vehicle and opened fire; Lewis and her 4-year-old daughter, Kaari Thompson, were both shot. Kaari was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at a hospital. Lewis survived for several days but died of her injuries on December 6, 2022.

Surveillance footage later showed several people approach the vehicle and fire. In October 2023, two men were arrested: 21-year-old Marquise Givner, also known as Marquise St. Julien-Givner, and 19-year-old Tarrell Jennings. Both were charged with criminal homicide, criminal conspiracy, and aggravated assault; Givner faced an additional firearms charge. Investigators traced a suspect vehicle, a white Malibu, to Jennings’ mother. Police said up to four people may have been involved, and no other arrests have been announced.

St. Julien-Givner was convicted at a non-jury trial and sentenced in February 2026 to two consecutive life terms without parole. Jennings’ jury trial ended in a mistrial after the jurors deadlocked; a retrial had been scheduled. If anyone knew Temani or Kaari, or has information about others involved in the shooting, please share what is known.
